Swarming drones, submersible vehicles and other unmanned technologies geared to operations at sea will hit the water this summer for the Navy’s next advanced naval technology exercise.

The interaction between humans and machines in the maritime environment is at the core of Advanced Naval Technology Exercise 2018, which will take place in the waters of Narragansett Bay, R.I., in late August. The Naval Undersea Warfare Center Division Newport is hosting and sponsoring the exercise, with the theme of “Human-Machine Interaction.”
